Mexico wants a Wall

Mexico wants Wall on their Southern Border

Mexican Paper ENDORSES Border Wall, But Look Where They Want It

Without question, perhaps the most consequential policy proposal responsible for the success thus far in the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is his call for a wall to secure the border between the United States and Mexico.

Of course, Trump’s border wall proposal has been widely panned, not only by liberal Democrats who prefer an open and unsecured border for political reasons, but also by the government of Mexico as well, which has flatly rebuked the notion that it would help pay for such a wall, which they claimed to view as racist and xenophobic.

Imagine the surprise then when a major newspaper in southern Mexico published an editorial recently demanding the construction of a secure border wall — not along the border between the U.S. and Mexico, but along Mexico’s southern border with the rest of the Central American nations, according to Breitbart.

The piece in El Manana lamented the fact that so many migrants from failing nations like El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras were crossing the border into Mexico on their way to the U.S., noting that not all of them were able to complete that journey, ultimately staying in Mexico where they too often ended up resorting to a life a crime to survive.

The piece went on to argue that the construction of a wall along Mexico’s southern border would be in the best interest of both Mexico and the U.S., as it would significantly curb the flow of illegal migrants through both nations, potentially negating the need for a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, that post was pulled from El Manana’s website only a day after it was first posted on Sunday, with no explanation or notation why, only to be reposted in its original form later in the day, Breitbart reported.

Since there was no explanation, one can only speculate as to the mix of blowback the editorial board received from political and cartel interests, as well as readers, leading them to pull and then re-post the controversial call for a secure border.

Whatever their reasoning, we can’t help but find ourselves in agreement that safe and secure borders are a good thing and controlled legal immigration is better than unchecked illegal immigration. If it takes a wall along a border to reach such objectives, then we are all for it.

Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word that a Mexican newspaper agrees with Donald Trump that a border wall is a great idea — only they want to build it on their southern border with Central America.
